The tower on the left ('D Building') was one of three built in 1966-69 by Yorke, Rosenberg & Mardall (the other two being stripped down at the time of the photo as a precursor to a comprehensive refurbishment as student accommodation). A typically strong grid, clad in pre-cast aggregate, and green spandrels. On the left is an earlier block ('C Building'), dating from 1958 but re-clad in blue glass in 2000 by Bowman Riley Partnership.
